Major area of subject associated with behavioral neurology is dementia. Dementia, which generally starts with advanced age and indicated the symptoms of forgetfulness, behavioral disorders, delusion, poor self-care and hygiene as well as decreased interest in the surrounding environment is also commonly known as “Alzheimer’s disease”. It should be remembered that not every case of forgetfulness is dementia and every case of dementia does not mean Alzheimer’s disease as well. People can experience the symptoms of interest such as forgetting names, addresses and numbers due to many reasons such as stress, fatigue and depression. Such examples usually do not last for long and recovery from forgetfulness is spontaneous after the underlying reason is eliminated. However, the help of a neurologist should be sought if forgetfulness is affecting your daily and business life and it is continuously increasing. “Behavioral neurology” determine whether these symptoms mean dementia and, if so, plan the treatment.
